Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is a man on a mission. The guy from Wamunyoro is on a vengeance conspiracy against president William Ruto.
Gachagua's hatred was triggered after he was impeached from being the second in command.
Both the National Assembly and the Senate ratified his impeachment process. He was replaced by Prof Kithure Kindiki as the Deputy President.
Tyranny of tribal numbers
On May 15, Gachagua launched a political party named Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).
He intends to use the party to solidify the populous agikuyu votes to robe Ruto the much coveted presidential title in 2027.
He intentionally chose former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala as the Deputy Party Leader. Malala comes from the luhya community which is second to the kikuyu in number of registered voters.
DCP slogan is 'Skiza Ground’ or 'Skiza Wakenya ‘ and the party has set tough rules for its member in the sense that anyone who will be seen spreading falsehood or peddling lies will be expelled from the party.
Unity of the opposition
Before the launch of his own party, Gachagua has been teaming up with key opposition figures the likes of Kalonzo Musyoka, Eugine Wamalwa and Martha Karua. The trio have already severed ties with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
The opposition wants to pull another NARC-like moment to trounce UDA from power.
The entry of Dr Fred Matiang'i into the political foray has reenergized the opposition vehicle in its quest to wrestle Ruto out of State House.
